  • CorroboratedEditor-approved Eikestadnuus (23 Mar 2026) reports that the Roads Master Plan, first drawn up in 2012 and updated in 2022, contains the eastern link road between Technopark and the town centre (extension of Van Reede Road, a link to Pastorie Road and a proposed new bridge over the Eerste River), and that neither new roads, the multistorey parking garage nor the municipality's NMT policy have been fully implemented.

  • VerifiedEditor-approved Dualling of Lower Dorp Street between the R44 and Adam Tas Road was listed as high-priority planning in the 2019 Roads Master Plan update; in March 2026 the municipal spokesperson, Stuart Grobbelaar, told Eikestadnuus that the Bird Street dualling and Lower Dorp Street widening were in the design or planning phase (translated from Afrikaans); Eikestadnuus reported that work on Lower Dorp Street was expected to start later in 2026.
